"You wish to review me?" Celestia asked curiously, mane flowing like a slow stream.

"Ah, I do not wish to review you that much anymore, seeing as you're such an easy target," Yahtzee said pensively. "Honestly, what is it with this place? It looks like something out of a six year old girls imagination."

"How so?"

"Bright ponies, princess ponies, ponies, ponies, ponies. That's all I've seen around here, next to that shameful excuse for a dragon," he grunted. "Actually, you know what? I have nothing better to do, so I will review you. My first point is just what in the bloody fuck is going on with your hair."

"My hair?" she asked, furrowing her brow slightly.

"Yes. Either there is a draft in here or your hair is possessed by a flamboyant ghost," he paused and squinted his eyes. "Judging by the sparkles I would guess the latter, actually. And if you don't mind me asking, what is your ass tattoo supposed to mean exactly?"

Celestia shifted in her seat, keeping a stern look on her face.

"From what I've gathered from our conversation, you don't appear to be the brightest of ponies, so why is it a sun?"

"I am the Princess of the sun, and it is my duty to raise and lower it at the beginning, as well as the end of each day."

"Move the sun?" he snorted. "Not bloody likely. Not only is that completely illogical, but it would take nothing short of a god to do so."

Celestia gave him a smile and he gave her an unimpressed glance.

"You're not trying to imply you're a god are you?"

"I'm not implying anything," she jested. "But what makes it so hard to believe?"

"Well for one you look nothing like me."

"And I am quite happy about that," she said impishly.

Yahtzee began a soft chuckle, but quickly smothered it with a cough.

"Something the matter?" Celestia asked.

"Nothing, just clearing my throat. Must be all the pixie dust in the air."

"This is nothing. When it comes time for their mating season, that dust gets everywhere," she tutted lightly.

Yahtzee fell into a silence and stared at Celestia, who offered nothing more than a calming smile.

"Well, I'll certainly try to better myself on the points you have brought up," she said with an appreciative nod.

"Oh, good for you then," he laughed. "Twilight and her friends didn't seem to keen on using my reviews to help themselves. Especially Keloggs and the rainbow one."

"I'll be sure to tell them to not take your words literally, but rather look for the message behind them," she promised with another smile.

"You know, maybe you aren't that bad," he said reluctantly.

"Thank you," the Princess chuckled. Her smile faltered a tiny bit and she narrowed her eyes slightly. "Now for a more pressing matter, what are you and what did you do that made you arrive here?"

"I don't know exactly what happened, all I know is I want to leave as soon as possible."

"I will try my best to help you get home, but you have to tell me how exactly you arrived here."

"Well, in my world, dimension or whatever this place is in relation to this place, I get paid to review video games. I had just finished recording my last review, but as soon as I finished I was told I had to review another video game. I found this odd because I've never been told to review a game right after I'm done recording. Usually I'm allowed a day or so to recuperate from the garbage I play. This one was called "My Little Pony and the New Element" and it ended up freezing my computer, and when I tried to fix it something knocked me into this world."

"That's odd..." Celestia interrupted quietly.

"Hm? What's odd?"

"Did Twilight mention the Elements of Harmony to you?"

"Ah, is that the sappy title of whatever those six horses gave to me before I came here?"

"Yes, that is them."

"What about them?"

"Think of the title of that game you were supposed to review."

"Yeah, the New Elemen- oh you're kidding me," he sputtered. "You're not implying what I think you're implying, are you?"

"I'm not implying anything, merely stating an observation."

"Uh-huh. Well I don't think I like your observation."

"I apologize for noting it then. But even so I think you should stay in Equestria for a bit, just in case."

"Oh god no. Please, I don't beg often, but please don't make me stay here. It's awful," he pleaded.

"I'm afraid there isn't much I can do for you otherwise. I don't know of any way to send you back home, but I will try my hardest in the meantime to figure out a spell to do so. For now, I would suggest you try to fit in."

"Fit in? How do you expect me to do th- oh no you don't!"

Celestia said nothing, but rather raised a brow at him.

"Don't tell me you're going to turn me into a horse like you. That Twilight pony wanted to do it to me, and I'll be damned if-"

"Why would I do that?" Celestia asked, interrupting Yahtzee completely. "You're from an entirely different place. Not only would changing the shape of your body provide a great amount of discomfort on your part, but it would take you quite a bit to adjust with your new body so you would have a lot of trouble doing almost anything. In fact, who is to say that the sudden transformation would not kill you?"

"Oh," he said simply.

"Oh?"

"I half expected you to turn me into a horse since you're making me stay, it hadn't actually occurred to me how stupid that would have been."

"You're making it sound like you want me to turn you into a stallion."

"I assure you, I'm quite enough of a stallion, thank you very much," he chuckled, adjusting his hat.

"Well that settles that then," she said with a smile. "Now for the matter of finding you a place to stay..."

"You're not going to make me stay with one of those six horses are you?"

"Again, that seems silly. I, as well as my subjects, hardly know you, so why would they be so eager to allow you to reside in their home?"

"Ha, another excellent point," he boomed. He paused and glared at her. "Hey now, stop that!"

"Stop what?"

"You're doing something and I don't like it."

"What am I doing?" Celestia asked innocently.

"You're making me feel... comfortable..." he shuddered. "I don't like it."

"Sister, it is my turn to reign." a voice said boomed, coming from behind Yahtzee.

Yahtzee whipped his head around to see another winged unicorn, much like Celestia but with a dark sapphire coat.

"Christ's blood, there certainly are a lot of you here," he muttered.

"Who is this?" the new pony said with a smile.

"My name is Yahtzee, not that it matters. Who are you?"

"I am Princess Luna, manipulator of the moon," she said with a curtsy. "It is a pleasure to meet you, Yahtzee."

"I'm sure it is," he grunted, turning back to Celestia. "So why is she Luna and you're Celestia?"

"Hm?" Celestia asked.

"Well if she is the Princess of the moon and her name is Luna, that makes a slim degree of sense. But you're in charge of the sun and your name is Celestia, right?"

"Yes, that is correct."

"Shouldn't your name be Sol seeing as Luna is Latin for moon?" Yahtzee asked curiously. "And speaking of Latin, something just occurred to me. How is it possible that both of us speak the same language? You would think that because we are from two entire different planes, our speech patterns would differ more than a Treckie differs from a Star Wars fanatic."

"That is something I can't answer," she shrugged. She turned to Luna and nodded. "Luna, may you bring Yahtzee to one of the guest rooms for the night? I will hold the throne until you come back."

"Very well," Luna smiled, looking at Yahtzee. "Follow me, Yahtzee."

"Right," he muttered as he followed Luna out the door.

"Well, Yahtzee, what brings you here?" she asked as she started down the hallway.

"Oh you know, the regular stuff. Try to live my life and something goes horribly wrong..."

"I'm sorry to hear about that."

"I'd be more worried about feeling sad for myself, if I were you," he coughed, inviting her to take the bait.

"Why is that?"

Perfect, he thought to himself. "Firstly it looks like someone pulled a prank on you."

"Prank? What kind of prank?"

"How should I put this? it looks like someone grabbed a container of cerulean blue paint and slapped it on your rump."

"Excuse me?" Luna asked flatly.

"You're excused."

"You're quite the rude one, aren't you?"

"I thought pointing out that someone pulled a prank on you was quite the opposite of rude. Also, how is being the lesser sister going for you?"

"What do you mean by lesser sister?" she asked, eyes narrowing on her guest.

"Well for one, you supposedly command the moon, but everybody is asleep, so nobody is around to recognize your work. Not to mention that Celestia pony seems to have a more regal about her. Heck, it's supposed to be your time on the throne and she said she would take care of it for now. Shows how much she needs you."

"How dare you!" Luna snapped

"You want to yell?" Yahtzee hollered. "I can yell too if you want!"

"Thou are an insignificant insect!" she shouted furiously. "I could quash thyself in a matter of-"

"What's with the archaic speech patterns all of the sudden? This isn't Shakespeare. love."

Luna's horn began to glow blue and she lowered her head.

"Ooh, I'm so scared. I'm positively shaking in my boots."

Luna narrowed her eyes and the glow around her horn disappeared.

"Chickened out, did you?" he asked boastfully, thinking he called her bluff.

Luna covered her mouth with her hoof and began to giggle.

"What? What's so funny?" Yahtzee asked curiously.

Luna used her free hoof to point at Yahtzee's back. Yahtzee turned his head and looked at his back, which now appeared to have a giant splatter of blue paint. Yahtzee turned back to Luna who was now on the floor laughing.

"Very funny," he grunted, trying to wipe the paint off of his back.

"Thank you," she said, trying to stop herself from laughing. "You wouldn't happen to be a jester would you?"

"It's a lot more complicated than that, but that's one way to put it..."

After five minutes of walking Luna came to a stop in front of a large golden doorway which had two ponies standing guard.

"Open the doors, please," she said with a smile.

"At once, Princess," the guards said in unison while they pushed the doors open.

Yahtzee stepped into the room to the room and began to observe it with a critical eye. The floor was a creamy white marble, with a few ornate rugs covering large portions of it. Three of the walls were white tiles, while the wall on the opposite side of the room to the door was just a large window with a glass door that led to a balcony, which was adorned with golden rails. Yahtzee then began to look at the furniture in the room. To the left of the door was an extremely large king sized bed, while on the opposite side of the room was a fireplace that was already crackling.

"A bit flashy, isn't it?" Yahtzee grunted, lifting up the corner of one of the rugs.

"You don't approve?" Luna asked.

"Not at all," he said, now looking under the rugs. "I mean honestly, how do you live in such a clean place? This room looks like it gets cleaned five times a day. Talk about over compensating in front of your guests."

"Yahtzee, you wouldn't happen to be feeling tired, would you?" she asked, raising her brow.

"Not particularly, why?"

"I was just wondering if you would like me to show you around the castle."

"As tempting as that is, I am afraid I am going to have to decline."

"Why?"

"How should I put this? I would much rather have someone shove a cheese grater down my throat and completely shred my insides over seeing more of this place..."

"You would much rather sit alone inside a room staring at a wall until you fall asleep?"

"Yes," he nodded.

"That's too bad," she pouted. Luna gasped and pointed behind Yahtzee. "Oh my goodness, what is that foreign object over there?"

"Over where?" he asked, turning around to look around the room.

Luna snagged Yahtzee's hat off of his head and placed it on her horn and began galloping down the hallway, giggling wildly.

"Blue bugger!" he snarled with pure animosity, sprinting after Luna. "Give me back my hat!"

"You'll have to catch me first," she said, sticking out her tongue as she looked back at Yahtzee.
